“South African colored, I am not sure what means”
Pam explained, “It’s neither black nor white. The apartheid politics in South Africa labeled people and gave them certain privileges based on their racial designation. We were labeled colored, we are of mixed race. Sort of, what you here in the states might call biracial. Everyone was legally segregated until 1994 when the end of the apartheid era. However, politically and culturally I identify myself as black”
“Yes, I understand biracial. My ex and my daughter are biracial.”
Pam looked at Paul and smiled at him.
Paul smiled at them and said, “We’ll ladies, let’s not get caught up in politics. We have a movie to see.”
After the movie Paul suggested Tina and Pam have dinner and then uninvited himself. The two ladies were pleased to have some time alone. Dinner conversation ran easily, they talked about life in South Africa compared to the states. Tina was particularly interested in the politics of color and Pam’s self identification as black. She wondered what Angelica would identify herself as. Bette seemed to not claim either and refused to be labeled. They both were enjoying themselves and before either of them knew it the restaurant was closing.
“Shame this must end. Tina, it has been my pleasure.”
“I’ve really enjoyed meeting you. I hope we can meet together again…soon."
"Maybe if you have time you can show me some of the sights of LA. I haven’t had a chance to see very much and Paul harasses me that I need to get out more.”
“I’d love to show you around. If you have time I can show you around tomorrow. We can start in the lesbian Mecca of West Hollywood. I know a great coffee shop where we can start the day.”
They exchanged numbers and agreed to meet at 9 am at the Planet. Tina left smiling at meeting this very intelligent, attractive and sophisticated woman, who in so many ways she reminded her of Bette but yet she was distinctly different. As she went to sleep she again reminisced on the magic of that first meeting then date with Bette. “Maybe I can get lucky again.”
Pam was already there when Tina arrived. “I seem to always be late.”

hey squirl, i like the new character–good little twist in the plot there;) i like how you’re dealing with tina’s frustration and pain over bette…live moveths on which is f**’ing hard to accept, embodied well within the tossing of a wine glass at one’s ex. i’m enjoying this story immensely:) pps!
i usually don’t like stories that are not about b&t being together or getting together, but this is one of the 2 stories that i like-please post soon. wonder what bette reaction will be be. kit likes her!
Loved meeting Pam and getting to know her back story. You told it well, and totally kept my interest!
you dun kno once Bette hears and see’s off this woman she gon probably get all Jealous rofl!
This Pam character is very interesting and she may be just what Tina needs in her life to feel wanted and desired and pump up her ego again and to bring out the gree-eyed monster in Bette and to make Bette realize that she really does love Tina and wants her back in her life again with Angie. Helena is just a hot diversion at the moment. Since Kit met her and talked with her, I think she will help Bette see the light, that if she wants Tina she had better go for it, if not Pam is there to take all. PPS
excellent…a reincarnation of bette for tina…now let b/h move on in peace!!!! yea, loved the update….PPS
It doesn’t surprise me at all that Tina’s conversation about her HIV status went as it did. What idiot says, “no I haven’t been tested but I am sure I don’t have it, even though I was banging a man only hours after I met him…” that kind of psychic ability must come in handy. Did they even use a condom then I wonder? I certainly didn’t hear any talk about testing that night! WHEN will tina take charge of her life instead of just letting it happen to her. I still have a problem also with Bette not having any problem with knowing tina was screaming and breaking glass with Angelica in the house. That can terrify a child, and Bette didn’t say a word to Tina. Bette and Helena forever!!!
After bringing up the rear for the last six chapters, I’m first this time! Wow…this Pam is truly a fascinating woman! I just hope she’s not a substitute Bette, though there are enough differences there. But how will Bette, and even Helena, respond to what, if anything, finally transpires between them? And with Tina’s recent declaration of wanting Bette back, I hope that Pam isn’t going to be a rebound for her (after she accused Bette of using Helena as such…). Much drama ahead in this great story, and now, I will stay current, anxiously awaiting the next post! You did say tonight, right?
This was just an excellent update! As for Pam I love this woman. And if Tina play her cards right just maybe she will get struck twice by love. I also like the fact that she is from South Africa. Given the plight the people have endure it amazes me she still has her head together.
JacOfClub-In meeting the people of South Africa especially the ones who achieve, they really have a survivor mentality. I think Mandela’s flight and his rise to power without the anger is tremendous inspiration for them all.
WOW…as much ai would bette and tina to get back and get rid of helena… hmmm this new lady in tina’s life sounds wonderful perhps tina will find love again, but then again pam already knows that tina is still in live with bette. just waiting to see how bette will handle this new lady in tina’s life…
I have a feeling I’m really gonna like Pam.
I took some time to catch up after reading this chapter, this is very good indeed Squirl. thanks!
Great update! Thanks! Can’t wait for the next post.. Tomorrow is already too long..So pleeease tonight =)
Hello Squirl, that was so powerful, and so heartbreaking. It brought back a lot of memories for me, I have lost some very special people to HIV in my life and it is so f@#$ing hard sometimes, you have handled this with grace and passion and for that I thank you. I am also happy for Tina to move on, even if this is a temporary thing she needed to find someone to show her she was desirable or she would have ended up like Bette during season 2 and 3, desolate and feeling completely undesirable. You have handled so many very strong subjects in this part and I will definitely return to talk about how they have affected me. You brought out some very primal emotions in me and I am blessed. Sincerely, JC
great update! i like pam i think she will be good for tina and maybe help her move on from bette
It was a great chapter indeed. I like Pam she is a very strong woman.. I can’t wait to see Bette’s reaction when she finds out
Wow, great chapter. Even though I am a diehard Tibette fan, I really like Pam and hope Tina get a chance with her.
Squirl, thanks for bringing us this story. As much fun as all the sex is in these stories, sometimes we (and the characters) need a reality check. HIV is such an important issue to address that I’m surprised it hasn’t been given any sort of weight on the show itself.
